The sojourn al Dover, Eng. of the eiop-
ing heiress, Mile. the Countess Mercedes
Campos ard her adyenturer lover is attract
ing much attention, and her repeated futile
attempts to marry tho man with whom she
has cast her lot are exciting considerable
sympathy among those with whom romantic
escapades find favor This particular affair,
ike ali others of It's class, possesses phases
Of absurdity and aspects OF real pathos la
most respects, it is true, it differs very little
from the ordinary elcpement of the heress
and the fortune hunter, there being nothing
not disgustingly commonplace in the fact
that beautiful and wealthy woman has run
away with man bankrupt in pocket and
character, wholly incapable Of supporting
her, ard determnedly aveyse TO maintain
ing himself Neither is there anything un-
precedented in ihe fact that the womans
relatives arc excessively solicitous for her
welfare and the custody Of the money they
see drifting further and further out of their
reach through the independent action ofthe
owner, or the spectacle of her penniless
companion clinging tenaciously to the for
tune Of his mistress and endeavoring to
make secure his claim TO it through the me-
dium of priest and ring.
But there is in the affair something which
appeals TO the lover Of fair play as almost
condoning the young woman's offence, ana
ezalting the scamp whose victim she is to
the plane of az honorable man. From what
has transpired through the action OF the
agent of the Campos family, and in other
WAYS, since the arrival of Mile. Campos at
Dover, the fact has been established be-
yond reasonable DOUBT that the young wo-
mans voluntary flight from Paris was the
result Of q series of ofpersecutionsa at the hands
of her relatives proceeding from mercenary
motives and contemplating the ultimate ab-
sorption of her fortune. Not to mince
words, but TO call a spade spade, the lady
by placing herself under the doubtful pro-
lection Of Mielvaque, alias Garboeuf. re-
moved herselt-temporarily, rs least from
the power of rs precious set of harpies as
ever preyed upon humanity and possibly
escaped the horrors of o lunatic asylum.
The impression s fast obtaining at Dover
that the young woman is deserving of sym
pathy, and she is receiving an abundance.
AS to the wilson Of her determination to
marry DIielvaQue or Garboeuf, the prepon-
derence Of the advice pragmatical persons
would offer her if they could get the chance
would be OF decidedly negative character
but from all that IS known of her experience
with her dear relatives, her escape, from the
frying pan though il be. IS regarded as pro.

McGLYNN AND HYAcINTHE.-Removed

city have not been molested. The intmi-
dation and augmentation are confined to
the outskirts. The employers have as yet
taken no action. BY the strike all the ma
sons are thrown out of employment, and at
least 10000 persons will be deprived Of their
means of support. When the strikers visit
ed The works OF Mcconnell and Jones and
endeavofed to persuade the workmen en-
gagged there to quit they were ordered away

The conduct of the Indian princes who
are visiting London is sometimes rather ez-
traordinary. For instance, one of them is
the terror of all the walters at the hotel
where he resides, for he very facetiously
obliges his attendants to finish all that is
left on the table after each meal, and to the
evident delight of His Highness, the poor
fellows are rendered Ill by over eating of
pats of butter and such like bilious articles.
